    Analogical interpretation of Confucian discourse in foreign policy making: Ming and Song exclusivism in Post-Maoist Chinese Regimes
    (Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, 2024-12) Cejudo Mejorada, Tadeo Arturo; CRIVELLI MINUTTI, EDUARDO; 634598
    "International relations demand multiplicity and transactionality in theoretical discourse to enable truly multidisciplinary dialogues; thus, non-Western approaches, such as the Chinese School of International Relations led by the Chinese Foreign Affairs University, are revitalizing Confucian philosophical elements in foreign and public policy, which is transforming how scholars analyze Chinese state behavior. Given China’s accelerated global consolidation and the onset of a hegemonic transition challenging American leadership, it becomes necessary to adopt new analytical tools; therefore, this thesis aims to apply neo-Confucian criteria through Western methodologies, following Dr. Yan Xuetong’s reverse approach, which encourages Latin American scholars to engage critically in sinological studies. This research explores the relational development of Confucian and neo-Confucian doctrines from the Song and Ming dynasties and their contemporary influence on post-Maoist foreign policy discourse, particularly after assessing Maoism’s axiological impacts and its reformulation during the Reform and Opening Up era. Moreover, it analyzes the inclusive and exclusive dynamics of the imperial tributary system to understand Confucianism’s role in legitimizing modern development and cooperation models. Using constructivist Macro-Structure Discursive Analysis and Semantic Network Analysis, this thesis argues that Confucian meta-values in Xi Jinping’s administration primarily serve as nationalistic propaganda rather than as genuine philosophical guidelines for policymaking".
